Maybe. I really don't know. Because I don't really care about the Mass. Constitution, except to the extent that Congress shouldn't be the one interpreting if for them

Now that I got you to agree with a few basic conservative principles, let me try one more: When it comes to interpreting the mass. constitution, it is better that it be done incorrectly by an activist mass. judge than that it be done correctly by a few hundred members of Congress who answer to not a single voter in Mass.

Those few hundred members of Congress answer to the voters. To whom may I ask, do the unelected Mass Supremes answer to?

That makes you as one with the MA SJC -- the MA constitution specifies that issues of marriage are the province of the legislature, except as they assign any aspects to the courts.
